The Cypress Creek Cultural District will host the Community Tribute to Jackie Burke Golf Clinic and Dinner for Champions on Monday, Nov. 19, at the Champions Golf Club.

The event honors the professional golfer, local entrepreneur and philanthropist and his influence on the Cypress Creek community.

Burke co-founded the Champions Golf Club with Jimmy Demaret in 1957 and has been particularly supportive of organizations in the Cultural District, according to Clara Lewis, Cypress Creek Cultural District vice chairwoman.

"The Community Tribute to Jackie Burke honors him for his lifetime of dedication to the community," she said.

"This entire area was really built up around his vision with Jimmy Demaret in the 1970s. He's been a visionary all these years."

Burke won 16 PGA Tour events including the 1956 Masters and PGA Championships.

He and Demaret founded Champions Golf Club in the late 1950s.

The golf club's construction along Jackrabbit Road, now known as FM 1960 and Cypress Creek Parkway, led to the development of the Champions subdivision.
